Nack The current clone_flags field is for user space consumption and we have proposed users for all or almost all of the remaining bits. If we are going to have kernel only flags please use an additional argument to do_fork and copy_process. Your current scheme also has the bad side that if user space supplied a kernel flag it is hard to detect it and return -EINVAL. Which limits future expansion. Silently dropping clone flags is a real pain, if you are trying to detect if a new flag has been implemented.
